Book Description
In the early days of cardiac surgery, but also in the following four decades, median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass were nearly always included in cardiac surgical procedures. Less invasive surgical techniques were developed with the aim of reducing perioperative trauma without compromising the surgical result, and things became more complex for cardiac surgeons. They now often had to consider the surgical access of choice and whether cardiopulmonary bypass should be used or not. Since the mid 1990s, not only have several novel minimally invasive surgical techniques been presented, but also further refinements have been recommended from time to time. This work comes to fill a gap in the field of coronary artery bypass grafting and conduit harvesting in cardiac surgery, by gathering the mature version of such new, less invasive techniques combining safety, effectiveness, simplicity, sometimes even reducing procedural costs and that always for the patient’s and for the surgeon’s sake.

Book Description
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery(MICS) is an integral component of every future cardiac surgeon’s training. There continues to be a growing global demand towards less invasive surgical techniques. Both cardiologist and cardiac surgeon form "heart teams" to provide patients with novel, minimally invasive procedures, with all their benefits. Less invasive techniques are often complex and require special knowhow and skills. This book offers an innovative approach to learning, utilizing QR code technology, which refers the reader to essential audio-visual material, which, along with the didactic text, focuses on practical aspects of minimally invasive cardiac surgery. In modern Heart Teams, and with the advent of the hybrid era, surgeons will only be able to survive if they have state-of-the-art skills in less invasive technologies, which can be incorporated in the hybrid theatre and/or trans-catheter arena. This text accompanies the surgeon along this path, and provides clinical advice and practical solutions, beyond the necessary basic knowledge. Which courses to visit, which videos to watch, which centres to join for serious training? How best to exploit public and multimedia? How to consent a patient into a MICS procedure? How to set up a MICS program or practice? In the era of value driven outcomes, and a shift towards shorter and better patient journeys, MICS is a skill that no heart surgeon can be without. Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: A Practical Guide is a teaching resource, reference book and manual written by surgeons who both operate and teach the procedures described within. Provides access to online resources via QR codes Includes links to videos and the e-version of the text Acts as a gateway to a huge choice of minimally invasive cardiac surgery materials

Book Description
This book provides an invaluable practically applicable and comprehensive manual to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Critical concepts and techniques are discussed in an easy-to-follow and understand step-by-step guide, featuring a wealth of intraoperative photos and illustrations with concise and instructive descriptions. Topics covered include classical sternotomy, variants of arterial revascularization, off-pump and minimally invasive techniques (MICS-CABG). Operative Techniques in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery provides invaluable assistance to residents, fellows and trainee surgeons by explaining theoretical and technical aspects of the latest advances in procedural techniques and therapy personalization to optimize CABG surgical outcome. Considering that any heart team depends entirely on the participants’ knowledge and their willingness to cooperate, this work allows cardiologists and the other participants of a heart team to better understand the strengths and limitations of state-of-the-art surgical coronary revascularization. The concepts synthesized within the checklists and decision algorithms provided also enable the reader to develop their knowledge of which technique is the most appropriate for a particular patient.

Book Description
ardiac surgeons are rethinking all their traditional techniques--avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass when feasible, attempting to reduce incision size, and thereby reduce the trauma inflicted on the patient. The technology involved in performing minimally invasive surgery concerns not only instrumentation but also anesthetic management, for example, the use of transesophageal echocardiography and radiological interventions in the operating suite for the stenting of the aorta. This latest volume in the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists Monograph series addresses the anesthesiologist's changing role in dealing with patients undergoing these newer, unconventional surgical operations.

Book Description
A comprehensive review by renowned authorities of the many exciting developments occurring across the rapidly emerging field of "minimally invasive" or "minimal access" cardiac surgery. The book's distinguished panel of contributors presents the interventional cardiologists perspective, spells out the key factors for success in beating-heart coronary bypass grafting through limited incisions, and surveys the various methods of harvesting the internal thoracic artery. Other topics treated include immobilization of the surgical field, minimal access valve and congenital surgery, alternative methods of anastomosis, and port-access coronary bypass grafting. Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery summarizes all the latest findings on the powerful new techniques, as well as the results, of minimally invasive coronary surgery, including valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease, and coronary revascularization.

Book Description
The surgical procedures which limit the size of incisions required and consequently reduce the pain, wound healing time, and the risk of infection are known as minimally invasive surgeries. The advancement in technology has resulted in advanced techniques of minimally invasive surgery. One such example is remote-control manipulation of instruments with indirect observation through a large scale display panel. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass is an example of minimally invasive surgery. It is a type of surgical procedure for coronary heart disease. It is often known as "keyhole" heart surgery because in this surgery, the operation is analogous to operating through a keyhole. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of minimally invasive surgery. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to minimally invasive surgery. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.

Book Description
The surgery of the heart or the great vessels, performed to correct congenital heart disease or treat valvular disease or complications arising due to ischemic heart disease, is termed as cardiac surgery. The scope of cardiac surgery is wide. The surgery that is performed on the heart after a large incision to the chest to open the rib cage is called an open-heart surgery. Depending on the procedure, it may entail the opening of the heart itself. A modern development in cardiology is the procedure of beating-heart surgery, in which the heart continues to beat even during the surgery. Coronary artery bypass grafting is performed with the objective of preventing clot formation, and subsequent heart attack. As opposed to the highly invasive open-heart surgery, minimally invasive surgery requires smaller incisions and can be robot-assisted. Another important area of cardiac surgery is heart transplantation. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of cardiac surgery. The aim of this book is to present researches that have transformed such surgical techniques and aided their advancement. For someone with an interest and eye for detail, this book covers the most significant topics in this field.
